NBA: Stephen Curry drops 50 against Suns in blowout Warriors loss, NBA Twitter goes wild

Stephen Curry is doing everything he can to improve a squad that hasn't lived up to the expectations set by the previous decade. In their most recent defeat, Curry went off for 50 points on 17-28 shooting from the field (7-11 from deep, 9-9 from the line), and yet the Warriors last led the game with a big cushion remaining in the first half, when they surged ahead, 14-11, off a Klay Thompson triple.

Since Stephen Curry is the outstanding unselfish superstar in today's NBA, his fantastic scoring outbursts usually lead to victories. Though, the team has struggled, prompting fans on Twitter to warn that this iteration of the Dubs' supporting cast is not very adequate to augment Stephen Curry's MVP-caliber play.

The Warriors' defense was a major contributor to their squandering of a dominant performance from the two-time MVP. They gave the Suns enough chances of open looks from behind the arc, and Cameron Payne, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges made the Warriors pay.


With addition of the Warriors' poor defense, some fans have noted that, aside from Stephen Curry's otherworldly shot-making, the team's offense appears to have run out of ideas for how to put the ball in the basket. This struggle is exacerbated by Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole's extended shooting slumps to begin the 2022–23 seasons.
